The sequel to the recently released Total War: Warhammer was just announced at EGX Rezzed.

Total War: Warhammer 2 will feature new races from the Warhammer Fantasy Battles World: the High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and an unknown race that will be revealed soon. Each race will feature its own campaign mechanics. There will be four new continents in the sequel: Ulthuan, Naggaroth, The Southlands, and Lustria.

Here's the game's synopsis:

“Players will struggle for dominion over the ailing Great Vortex that has swirled for millennia above the elven homeland of Ulthuan. Performing a series of arcane rituals, each race must save or disrupt the Vortex according to their motivations – a struggle culminating in a cataclysmic endgame. Territorial conquest is no longer enough… this is a race for control that will define the fate of the world.”

When you own both titles

Right after Total War: Warhammer 2's launch, players that also own the original game will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign that merges the landmasses of the Old World plus the four new continents mentioned above. Players can then play campaigns of any owned race from both titles.

It's quite a surprise to get an announcement of a sequel this early considering that the first game was just released last May 2016.

The strategy game is planned to be a trilogy from the start, and while there's no official release date for Total War: Warhammer 2, it's slated for a release sometime this year for PC.

These are my thoughts about The Division 2 after 20 hours of play. There’s still a lot to do after completing the story and i’m impressed with the journey to level 30. This looter shooter is currently on the positive side, which is rare for the subgenre, especially during launch week.

Since Borderlands 2, Ubisoft and Activision have proceeded to outspend 2K and Gearbox on every level imaginable to create online-only loot shooters like Destiny and Tom Clancy’s The Division. Even EA has gotten into the action with Anthem.

Our review of The Division 2 is currently underway and while it’s too soon to provide any kind of impression or feedback, I return from DC with a few tips for new agents entering the game for the first time when it goes live to the public this Friday.
